The electronic edition of Introductory Addresses Delivered at the Organization of Bethany College (Bethany, VA: A. Campbell, 1841) has been produced from a copy of the printed text held by the Disciples of Christ Historical Society, with text scanned by Colvil L. Smith (Australia) and formatted by Ernie Stefanik (U. S. A.).

      Pagination in the electronic version has been represented by placing the page number in brackets following the last complete word on the printed page. In the printed text, footnotes are indicated by printer's devices (asterisks, daggers, etc.); in the electronic text, they are treated as sequentially numbered endnotes. Inconsistencies in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and typography have been retained; however, corrections have been offered for misspellings and other accidental corruptions. Emendations, including those on the errata page, are as follows:
